Magic arrived at The Montgomery Performing Arts Centre on Friday 19 September 2009 when International Magicians of the Year, The Spencers and their Theatre of Illusion popped into town.
GreatNewsMontgomery.com was there to catch the action.
Other winners of the prestigious International Magicians of the Year title include David Copperfield, Chris Angel and Penn and Teller. This is the BIG ONE for magicians.
Theatre of Illusion is described as a magical concert for your eyes
“Audiences cross over a threshold of disbelief only moments after the Spencers take the stage. The duo presents a big, high-tech stage show that combines drama, comedy, romance, and suspense with elaborate stage illusions that include dazzling special effects and magnificent set design.
Working with some of the leading creators, inventors, designers, and builders in the industry, the Spencers feature many original illusions that you simply won’t see anywhere else.
Kevin believes, when presented properly, the art of illusion has the potential to move an audience – both emotionally and intellectually – in much the same way as great music, inspiring dance, and powerful theatre.”
The Spencers are great magicians but what drew out attention to them was not their great act but the fact that they are real people who give back to the communities they visit. For example:
This couple is super-talented and are working on something else besides Theatre of Illusion and their other community service projects. Have a look at this video we received.
